Kickboxing is a skill too right?

instead of selling out for a takedown, in the 2nd she reerunedly stuck with her dumb plan of out-striking a champion boxer

Weird that she didn't go for a couple double or single legs (not that I saw anyway) after getting so beat up stand up. When she did that legs running out gas one knee fall I was pretty sure she was toast. Hollywood movies and MMA don't mix!!!

Not sure what she'd say...After that beat down I don't think she even knows she had a fight tonight.

She was done before that kick and it was all boxing prior to that.
I really don't think anyone lays a finger on Holly for a while. She's too strong and she's technically far superior of a fighter over any woman I've seen in MMA. Look at most of Rhonda's previous fighters, none were technically sound at all. Hell, it's like they close their eyes and jab with both arms simultaneously until Rhonda does her thing.
Holly will roll through the competition because she knows how to fight!

**** me? I didn't insult you. **** you. I am now putting you on ignore. I never take people off ignore. Good-bye forever, you stupid asshole.

Really think that first pop flush on her nose f'd her up more than anyone knows.

Question:

Did this happen because she was simply overrated, or, like many fighters who achieve mainstream success, did her's cause her to lose focus on her training? Something else?

Rousey inexplicably decided that she was a boxer tonight. She had plenty of opportunities to take Holm down and submit her, but she refused because of reeruned "I'm a complete fighter" pride.

She's always been overrated...garbage stand up facing extremely favorable competition with horrible game plans.

She has no adjustments...if she can't clench, throw, and get the armbar well...you see what happens.

Pretty much -- but I also think her brains were scrambled from that first punch on the nose.

The comment about her corner doing her no favors between rounds can't be understated either.

It was bizarre. Rousey tried to get into a stand-up fight with Holm and its not working. She responded by doubling down and completely ignoring the possibility of going to the ground despite multiple clinches.
